Well, the rating changed from M to GP for domestic releases during the late 1969 to early 1970 period. I would think there is a chance #2 may have been a later printing of a first release, where the rating box was removed because of the confusion. Just speculating.

[EXTERNAL] Thanks, Todd, a good question. I will explain our reasoning and say that by calling the large title in lower right version 1969 was obviously a mistake from some time ago. M rating lower left corner within artwork. National Screen Service info on right side of bottom border, then 69/241 This would be the domestic release for the poster and with the rating assuredly used in the states. No M rating lower left corner within artwork. National Screen Service info on right side of bottom border, then 69/241 This is believed to be the International one sheet as no ratings were used on those posters generally. Some might say, well with NSS number it wouldn’t be International but I suggest that it is International as during that time, most domestic release posters did have a rating. No M rating lower left corner within artwork. No National Screen Service info and No 69/241. Instead, the title is on the right side of the bottom border. This is a late 1970s, early 1980s reissue most likely and sold previously I believe as 1969. IMDB says there was a showing in 1980, but as you know it wasn’t until the early 1970s that NSS started labeling the posters with the larger title in the lower right leading us to deduce this is a reissue just as we know the James Bonds titles with similar markings are reissue. More recently we have called this a reissue.

[EXTERNAL] you mean 'does anyone know what the real deal is when buying at heritage ? ' Not at all. I buy from Heritage all the time. I was just citing examples of different versions of the poster they had sold and was wondering why there are at least 3 different versions and for what reason as they all have the same artwork.

Does anyone know what the story is with the ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST One Sheets?? I've seen at least 3 slight variations to the One Sheet. 1) M rating lower left corner within artwork. National Screen Service info on right side of bottom border, then 69/241 2) No M rating lower left corner within artwork. National Screen Service info on right side of bottom border, then 69/241 3) No M rating lower left corner within artwork. No National Screen Service info and No 69/241. Instead, the title is on the right side of the bottom border. In 2009 Heritage sold #3 as a regular One Sheet. In 2008 Heritage sold #3 as an International One Sheet. In 2007 Heritage sold #3 as an R-80 One Sheet. Does anyone know what the real deal is with these One Sheets?? Thanks folks!
